No- it's easy to use but it requires thinking about all the minors you
want to use and what max sizes, etc. I mean, yes, I could move it along
and just delta the changes, but if it can wait a few weeks so I can
actually finish off the media detection at open and the persistent density
properties (which *would* have an impact about minors), I'd like to do it.
The current D_NAG doesn't stop you from using the tape device, does it?
